It's more general than "MANOVA + Tukey's". The problem arises as soon as the ANOVA family of tests is used, as they assume "homogeneity of variance", in other words that the variance of each sample…

You mean the method the authors used is theoroticaly impossible in all of their papers?

Yes, I think that we cannot detect serotonin using their method.
